Jeff Flake Joins Over Two-Dozen Former GOP Members In Launching ‘Republicans For Biden’

Well, no surprise here. Former GOP Arizona Senator Jeff Flake, who is a flake indeed, has announced he is part of those Republicans for Biden.

From The Daily Caller:

Over two-dozen former GOP lawmakers, including Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake, announced their support for the “Republicans for Biden” effort Monday, according to the Democratic presidential nominee’s campaign.

Their support aligns with former Vice President Joe Biden’s campaign to attract disaffected Republicans, Fox News reported, and came only hours before the start of the Republican National Convention where President Donald Trump is scheduled to accept his party’s nomination.

So, a bunch of RINOs announce they are supporting the nominee for the Democratic Party. The nominee whose party’s agenda is diametrically opposed to every principle of the Republican party. How exactly are these people at all considered Republican?

No one who votes for Joe Biden can, in any meaningful way, be called a Republican. A Republican can abstain, or perhaps vote for a third party, but there is no way a Republican would vote for Joe Biden. Joe Biden has made clear throughout this campaign that he will govern as a leftist who will push an extreme left-wing agenda.

Here is the full list of the mostly no-name Republicans supporting Biden.

Joining Flake in the “Republicans for Biden” effort are former Republican Sens. Gordon Humphrey of New Hampshire and John Warner of Virginia, and 24 former members of Congress, USA Today reported.

• Steve Bartlett of Texas

• Bill Clinger of Pennsylvania

• Tom Coleman of Missouri

• Charlie Dent of Pennsylvania

• Charles Djou of Hawaii

• Mickey Edwards of Oklahoma

• Wayne Gilchrest of Maryland

• Jim Greenwood of Pennsylvania

• Bob Inglis of South Carolina

• Jim Kolbe of Arizona

• Steve Kuykendall of California

• Ray LaHood of Illinois

• Jim Leach of Iowa

• Susan Molinari of New York

• Connie Morella of Maryland

• Mike Parker of Mississippi

• Jack Quinn of New York

• Claudine Schneider of Rhode Island

• Christopher Shays of Connecticut

• Peter Smith of Vermont

• Alan Steelman of Texas

• Jim Walsh of New York

•  Bill Whitehurst of Virginia

•  Dick Zimmer of New Jersey

Flake tweeted a statement with his big announcement!

Here’s who I’ll be supporting for President, and why. https://t.co/4hdz7Y7VLw

It is LONG. Since I’m quite certain you don’t care to read the whole thing, let me summarize it for you.

• Orange man bad. Very, very bad.
• Trump is not a conservative.
• Trump’s a racist.
• Joe Biden is a nice man.

Flake claims to be genuinely concerned about the Constitution. For someone who claims to be so concerned about the Constitution, Flake quickly dismisses concerns about Supreme Court appointments of the next president.

And to the refrain — Well, it’s all about the Supreme Court, I say: To fall back on Supreme Court appointments as the last remnant by which we define a once vibrant conservative movement should offer little solace to conservatives.

Flake also pushes back on the idea of separating the man personally from his policies.

Some of my conservative friends will say, yes, we don’t like his behavior, but he governs as a conservative. Here, today, I will say to my fellow conservatives: Whatever else you might call the behavior I have just described, it is most assuredly not conservative.

Somehow, in his little brain, Flake thinks that Biden will “stop chaos and reverse the damage.” Has this man seen the chaos in the cities run by leftists? How much worse will it be if our nation is run by a leftist?

So here we are today. During the 2016 election, given what I had already seen during the campaign, I knew I could not vote for the President. Like many of my colleagues, I chose to vote for a third-party candidate. Today, given what we have experienced over the past four years, it is not enough to just to register our disapproval of the President. We need to elect someone else in his place, someone who will stop the chaos and reverse the damage.

Flake’s endorsement will have no impact. Flake didn’t run for reelection in 2018 because he knew he couldn’t win. He’s a loser, and I believe he is supporting a man who will be a loser come November.
